Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards, subject to the Grantee's continued employment with any of Splitco, any other Qualifying Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the Company or its Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards), one-half of the number of LINTA Options subject to this Agreement will become exercisable on each of December 17, 2013 and December 17, 2014. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event that any date on which Options would otherwise become exercisable is not a Business Day, such Options will become exercisable on the Business Day next following such date, and (ii) Options that have not theretofore become exercisable will become exercisable (A) to the extent provided in the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, or (B) to the extent provided in Section 4 of the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards, on the date of the Grantee's Separation. In addition, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that Grantee makes a valid Vesting Continuation Election pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards and such Section becomes applicable, any portion of the Option that is outstanding and unvested as of the date of the Grantee's Separation shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 5 of the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards.
(b)To the extent the Options become exercisable, any or all of such Options may be exercised (at any time or from time to time, except as otherwise provided herein) until expiration of the Term or earlier termination thereof as provided herein.
(c)The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Committee, in its discretion and as contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Plan, may adopt rules and regulations from time to time after the date hereof with respect to the exercise of the Options and that the exercise by the Grantee of Options will be subject to the further condition that such exercise is made in accordance with all such rules and regulations as the Committee may determine are applicable thereto.
4.Manner of Exercise. Options will be considered exercised (as to the number of Options specified in the notice referred to in Section 4(a) below) on the latest of (i) the date of exercise designated in the written notice referred to in Section 4(a) below, (ii) if the date so designated is not a Business Day, the first Business Day following such date or (iii) the earliest Business Day by which the Company has received all of the following:
(a)Written notice, in such form as the Committee may require, containing such representations and warranties as the Committee may reasonably require and designating, among other things, the date of exercise and the number of shares of LINTA Stock (“Option Shares”) to be purchased;
(b)Payment of the Base Price for each Option Share to be purchased in any (or a combination) of the following forms: (A) cash, (B) check, (C) whole shares of any class or series of the Company's common stock, or (D) the delivery, together with a properly executed exercise notice, of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
--4-
the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price (and, if applicable the Required Withholding Amount, as described in Section 5 below); and
(c)Any other documentation that the Committee may reasonably require.
5.Mandatory Withholding for Taxes. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Company will deduct from the shares of LINTA Stock otherwise payable or deliverable upon exercise of any Options that number of shares of LINTA Stock (valued at the Fair Market Value of such LINTA Stock on the date of exercise) that is equal to the amount of all federal, state and local taxes required to be withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company upon such exercise, as determined by the Company (the “Required Withholding Amount”), unless provisions to pay such Required Withholding Amount have been made to the satisfaction of the Company. If the Grantee elects to make payment of the Base Price by delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the Base Price, such instructions may also include instructions to deliver the Required Withholding Amount to the Company. In such case, the Company will notify the broker promptly of the Company's determination of the Required Withholding Amount.
6.Payment or Delivery by the Company. As soon as practicable after receipt of all items referred to in Section 4, and subject to the withholding referred to in Section 5, the Company will (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Grantee certificates issued in the Grantee's name for, or cause to be transferred to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, the number of shares of LINTA Stock purchased by exercise of Options, and (ii) deliver any cash payment to which the Grantee is entitled in lieu of a fractional share of LINTA Stock as provided in Section 2 above. Any delivery of shares of LINTA Stock will be deemed effected for all purposes when certificates representing such shares have been delivered personally to the Grantee or, if delivery is by mail, when the stock transfer agent of the Company has deposited the certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee, or at the time the stock transfer agent initiates transfer of shares to a brokerage account through Depository Trust Company for the benefit of the Grantee, if applicable, and any cash payment will be deemed effected when a check from the Company, payable to the Grantee and in the amount equal to the amount of the cash payment, has been delivered personally to the Grantee or deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Grantee.
7.Termination of Options.
A. This Section 7.A will apply unless and until the Grantee makes a valid Vesting Continuation Election pursuant to the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards and Section 5 of such agreement becomes applicable. If this Section 7.A is then applicable, the Options will terminate at the time specified below:
(a)If a Change in Control has not then occurred and the Grantee's Separation occurs prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2014 (i) on account of a termination of the Grantee's employment for Cause or (ii) on account of a termination of the Grantee's employment by the Grantee without Good Reason, all Options that are not exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation will terminate at that time and all
--5-
Options that are exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Separation will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period that began on the date of the Grantee's Separation.

In any event in which Options remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of the Grantee's Separation as provided above, the Options may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were exercisable as provided in Section 3 above on such date of Separation. Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7.A or any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate not later than upon the expiration of the Term.
B. This Section 7.B. will apply if the Grantee makes a valid Vesting Continuation Election pursuant to the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards and Section 5 of such agreement becomes applicable. If this Section 7.B is then applicable, the Options will terminate at the time specified below:
(a)If a Change in Control has not then occurred and the Grantee's Separation from Splitco occurs prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2014 (i) on account of a termination of the Grantee's employment with Splitco for Cause or (ii) on account of a termination of the Grantee's employment with Splitco by the Grantee without Good Reason, all Options that are not exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of Grantee's Separation from Splitco will terminate at that time and all Options that are exercisable as of the Close of Business on the date of the Grantee's Separation from Splitco will terminate at the Close of Business on the first Business Day following the expiration of the 90-day period that began on the date of the Grantee's Separation from Splitco.
(b)If (i) the Grantee's Separation from Splitco does not occur prior to the Close of Business on December 31, 2014, (ii) a Change in Control occurs prior to the Grantee's Separation from Splitco, or (iii) a Change in Control has not then occurred and the Grantee's Separation from Splitco occurs (A) on account of a termination of the Grantee's employment with Splitco without Cause, (B) on account of a termination of the Grantee's employment with Splitco by the Grantee for Good Reason, or (C) by reason of the death or Disability of the Grantee, the Options will terminate at the expiration of the Term.
In any event in which Options remain exercisable for a period of time following the date of the Grantee's Separation from Splitco as provided above, the Options may be exercised during such period of time only to the extent the same were exercisable as provided in Section
--6-
3 above (or as provided in Section 5 of the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards) on such date of Separation from Splitco. Notwithstanding any period of time referenced in this Section 7.B or any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement that may be construed to the contrary, the Options will in any event terminate not later than upon the expiration of the Term.
8.Nontransferability. During the Grantee's lifetime, the Options are not transferable (voluntarily or involuntarily) other than pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order and, except as otherwise required pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order, are exercisable only by the Grantee or the Grantee's court appointed legal representative. The Grantee may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom the Options will pass upon the Grantee's death and may change such designation from time to time by filing a written designation of beneficiary or beneficiaries with the Committee on the form annexed hereto as Exhibit B or such other form as may be prescribed by the Committee, provided that no such designation will be effective unless so filed prior to the death of the Grantee. If no such designation is made or if the designated beneficiary does not survive the Grantee's death, the Options will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Following the Grantee's death, the Options, if otherwise exercisable, may be exercised by the person to whom such Option or right passes according to the foregoing and such person will be deemed the Grantee for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement.
9.Forfeiture for Misconduct and Repayment of Certain Amounts. If (i) a material restatement of any financial statement of the Company (including any consolidated financial statement of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries) is required and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the Grantee, the Grantee will repay to the Company Forfeitable Benefits received by the Grantee during the Misstatement Period in such amount as the Committee may reasonably determine, taking into account, in addition to any other factors deemed relevant by the Committee, the extent to which the market value of LINTA Stock during the Misstatement Period was affected by the error(s) giving rise to the need for such restatement. “Forfeitable Benefits” means (i) any and all cash and/or shares of LINTA Stock received by the Grantee (A) upon the exercise during the Misstatement Period of any SARs held by the Grantee or (B) upon the payment during the Misstatement Period of any Cash Award or Performance Award held by the Grantee, the value of which is determined in whole or in part with reference to the value of LINTA Stock, and (ii) any proceeds received by the Grantee from the sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition during the Misstatement Period of any shares of LINTA Stock received by the Grantee upon the exercise, vesting or payment during the Misstatement Period of any Award held by the Grantee. By way of clarification, “Forfeitable Benefits” will not include any shares of LINTA Stock received upon exercise of any Options during the Misstatement Period that are not sold, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of during the Misstatement Period. “Misstatement Period” means the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement.
10.No Stockholder Rights. Prior to the exercise of Options in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Grantee will not be deemed for any purpose to be, or to have any of the rights of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to
--7-
any shares of LINTA Stock underlying the Options, nor will the existence of this Agreement affect in any way the right or power of the Company or any stockholder of the Company to accomplish any corporate act, including, without limitation, the acts referred to in Section 11.16 of the Plan.
11.Adjustments. If the outstanding shares of LINTA Stock are subdivided into a greater number of shares (by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or otherwise) or are combined into a smaller number of shares (by reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the Committee determines that any stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase any shares of LINTA Stock or other similar corporate event (including mergers or consolidations other than those which constitute Approved Transactions, which shall be governed by Section 11.1(b) of the Plan) affects shares of LINTA Stock such that an adjustment is required to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the Options will be subject to adjustment (including, without limitation, as to the number of Options and the Base Price per share of such Options) in such manner as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems equitable and appropriate in connection with the occurrence of any of the events described in this Section 11 following the Amendment Effective Date.
12.Restrictions Imposed by Law. Without limiting the generality of Section 11.8 of the Plan, the Grantee will not exercise the Options, and the Company will not be obligated to make any cash payment or issue or cause to be issued any shares of LINTA Stock if counsel to the Company determines that such exercise, payment or issuance would violate any applicable law or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority or any rule or regulation of, or agreement of the Company with, any securities exchange or association upon which shares of LINTA Stock are listed or quoted. The Company will in no event be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the exercise of the Options or the resulting payment of cash or issuance of shares of LINTA Stock to comply with any such law, rule, regulation or agreement.
13.Notice. Unless the Company notifies the Grantee in writing of a different procedure, any notice or other communication to the Company with respect to this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered personally or sent by United States first class mail, postage prepaid and addressed as follows:

(b)subject to any required action by the Board or the stockholders of the Company, the Options granted under this Agreement may be canceled by the Company and a new Award made in substitution therefor, provided, that the Award so substituted will satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Award is made and no such action will adversely affect any Options.
15.Grantee Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action of the Company or the Committee with respect hereto, will confer or be construed to confer on the Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Grantee's employment at any time, with or without cause, subject to the provisions of the Agreement Regarding LINTA Awards.
16.Nonalienation of Benefits.
